<HR class=threadline SIZE=1>Hi guys,

Having moved a few of my PAB's the last months in order to get more quality in the collection, though I was forced to add this little gem here today. The earliest FLL PAB form with the uncommon wraparound hinge and the very thick layered silver finish. Piece is in beautiful condition and probably shines like a mirror under the 70 old layer of patina! Decided to keep it like this as well

Hope you like it
Giel

Hi Giel,

Gorgeous and rare example, very nice! Love the patina as well, don't blame you for keeping it intact. Just lovely, congrats on a wonderful addition.

This is a well coated zinker, correct? I don't think we have ever found any early Nickel Silver PABs yet, but we do know of some FLL IABs that are NS.

Hello Giel, very very nice addition. I bought my very first PAB from you here on the Estand several years ago, a bronze Daisy design if memory serves!!

All the Best
